We report the case of a 39-year-old woman with portal hypertension caused by a splenic arteriovenous fistula that was diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound and splenic arteriography. She presented with esophageal variceal hemorrhage and was initially treated with sclerotherapy. Ascites and secretory

OBJECTIVE The study evaluated which viruses can be detected in dogs with acute hemorrhagic diarrhea and compared signalment, clinical signs, and laboratory abnormalities among groups of dogs infected with different viruses and those that tested virus-negative. METHODS Fecal samples from 935 dogs

The relationship between bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection and thrombocytopenia was studied in 18 veal calves experimentally infected with BVDV. All calves were free of BVDV, and 13 calves were free of serum neutralizing antibodies to BVDV before virus inoculation. Calves were inoculated

A 13-year-old girl was hospitalized for fever, malaise, intractable diarrhea, and intermittent gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Despite aggressive antimicrobial and supportive treatment, she died with massive bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Autopsy study revealed systemic polyarteritis

Sera from male mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) collected in November 1977 in Otero County, New Mexico were tested fro antibodies to bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV), bluetongue virus (BTV), and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 26 of 76 (34%) sera

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently defined systemic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) of childhood as a life-threatening illness. However, this rare disease has not been extensively studied. Here we report a case of systemic EBV-positive T-cell

In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults from the Central African Republic, the occurrence of chronic diarrhea due to HEp-2 adherent Escherichia coli (EAEC) harboring virulence markers (eaeA, BFP, EAF, astA determinant of EAST/1, positive FAS test, enteropathogenic E. coli O serogroup)

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) 1b was isolated from tissues of a term bovine fetus with petechial hemorrhages noted throughout the body and placenta at autopsy. Fresh lung, kidney, thymus, and liver tissues were examined by direct fluorescent antibody testing and were positive for BVDV antigen

Appendix bleeding is an uncommon clinical phenomenon. In this article, we reported a case of appendix bleeding with painless bloody diarrhea. With the analysis of clinical features, clinical examination, experimental test and literature review, we diagnosed that the appendix bleeding might be caused

A 6-year-old boy with no history of foreign travel had presented with rectal bleeding without diarrhea for 2 months. Despite negative stool cultures, a diagnosis of intestinal amebiasis was made by colonoscopy with tissue biopsy. In cases of persistent rectal bleeding, even without diarrhea, a

The genetic relationships among 1,300 isolates of Escherichia coli representing 16 serotypes associated with enteric disease, including O157:H7 strains recovered from patients with hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome and O26:H11, O55:H6, O55:H7, O111:H2, and O128:H2 strains, many of

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare symptomatic manifestation of arteriosclerosis. Prognosis crucially depends on rapid diagnosis and surgical management to prevent or at least minimize the bowel infarction. The length of the small bowel is considered to be between 3 and 8 m, and a normal bowel

OBJECTIVE To determine the safety and efficacy of an electrolyte solution for oral administration (OES) for the correction of mild to moderate dehydration associated with hemorrhagic diarrhea in dogs.
